GG World Festival and World Poker Masters 2026 Launch This Weekend May 1st
- GGPoker and CoinPoker launch major festivals May 3, 2026.
- GGPoker: $300M across 1,600+ events, $3M leaderboard.
- CoinPoker: $25M festival, $530 Main Event with $2.5M GTD.
The two biggest online poker series of 2026 go live on the same day. GG World Festival ($300M GTD) and CoinPoker World Poker Masters ($25M GTD) both open on May 1-3.
GGPoker's $300M GG World Festival and CoinPoker's $25M World Poker Masters both go live on May 3, 2026, making this the most loaded weekend on the online poker calendar this year.
GG World Festival 2026: $300M Across 1,600+ Events
- Dates: May 3 to June 9, 2026
- Buy-in tiers: Low ($3 to $25), Medium ($26 to $150), High ($151 to $1,050), Super ($1,051+)
The series eclipses last year's $250M guarantee by $50 million, cementing GGPoker's position as the dominant force in online tournament poker. A $3,000,000 series leaderboard runs the full duration, so volume from day one carries real weight.
